FOSSILS & FUN (Ages 6-10)

Fossils and Fun is a hands-on, creative journey into our local rich natural history, animals, and resources. Daily science activities, crafts and investigations lead campers to great discovery at our outdoor museum and beyond! Campers will journey to local fossil sites to see and touch real dinosaur bones and tracks, create and take home fossil replicas, and participate in a sand castle challenge simulating geologic processes. Field Trips may include Bear Creek Lake Park, Matthews Winters Park, Red Rocks Park, and more! This camp is the perfect opportunity for future paleontologists, outdoor enthusiasts, and dinosaur lovers to do science in a whole new way. This camp is recommended for children that have finished kindergarten through those going into fifth grade, or 6 to 10 years of age.

NATURE TREKKERS (Ages 6-10)

Trekkers will engage their adventurous spirits as they learn outdoor skills and exciting ways to thrive in nature. Campers will hike through the pines of Lookout Mountain, explore the rivers of Morrison, and learn how to make a survival kit and build a shelter. Nature Trekkers will discover the outdoor skills geologists, paleontologists, and naturalists need to fully explore our unique backyard, such as map and compass skills and wildlife and plant identification. Field trips may include Lookout Mountain Nature Center, Idaho Springs, Triceratops Trail fossil sites, and more! Prepare to see the outdoors in a whole new light! This camp is recommended for children that have finished kindergarten through those going into fifth grade, or 6 to 10 years of age.

JUNIOR SCIENTISTS (Ages 8-11)

Calling all junior scientists! Full steam ahead for this awesome inquiry-based science camp! Campers will explore many different branches of science such as studying fossils using paleontology and geology, tinkering and experimenting with chemistry and physics, and learning about the sun, planets and stars using astronomy! Be prepared to create edible crystals, build erupting volcanoes, and see local animals. Field trips may include the Denver Museum of Nature and science, Robert H. Johnson Planetarium, School of Mines Geology Museum, and more! This camp is for every kid who dreams of telescopes, fossil digs, contraptions, and messy science all in one amazing week! This camp is recommended for children that have finished 2nd grade through those going into 6th grade, or 8 to 11 years of age.

ROCK STARS (Ages 10-13)

Advanced Campers with a passion for hands-on earth science will love this camp's in-depth focus on all things Paleontology and Geology. From the dawn of the planet to today's modern environments, campers will explore, observe, map, draw, and measure fossils and rock layers from Dinosaur Ridge to Idaho Springs. See where glaciers shaped our Front Range, touch dinosaur bones and tracks, and explore natural resources through games and experiments. This is an engaging week of fossil collection, paleo-art, and outdoor leadership. Field trips may include the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, School of Mines Geology Museum, Morrison Natural History Museum, American Mountaineering Museum, and an outdoor community service project!

We know your kiddo loves science, and in this week they can do a deep dive into the technology, math, art, and engineering behind those sciences! Learn how geological engineers build machines to test for earthquakes. Explore not only what the pyramids are made of, but how they could have been constructed. Explore local Colorado vistas and learn to capture that beauty with a lesson in photography. Explore the math that ties together sciences such as geochemistry by exploring how geologists date elements in rocks to know the age of the Earth. Daily projects and amazing field trips will foster excitement, wonder, and curiosity. Hands-on games, activities, and fun await your camper during STEAM week! This camp is recommended for children that have finished 2nd grade through those going into 6th grade, or 8 to 11 years of age.

Colorado Bluebird Project

Improving bluebird populations
The Colorado Bluebird Project operates under the guidance of the Audubon Society of Greater Denver and is offered through POST Partners in Castle Rock. This volunteer-run project aims to improve the vitality of bluebird populations throughout Colorado and to inform and educate the public about bluebirds. For more information, see the project overview sheet.

Volunteers of all ages are needed to assist with monitoring of the nest boxes from April through August. Additionally, volunteers are needed to help with nest box construction and repair of older nest boxes. Wondering what to expect as a volunteer? Check out this slideshow featuring photos provided by our volunteers from this past season.

Educational Presentations
​Natural Resource Specialist, Barbara Spagnuolo, conducts two education presentations in late winter to prepare residents for the start of the Colorado Bluebird Project season. Learn about the program and how you can help bluebirds in Castle Rock or in your own backyard at the open house with comprehensive monitoring training offered separately.

Upcoming Presentations:

Open House
Thursday, Feb. 21
7-8 p.m.
Monitor Training
Wednesday, March 6
6:30-8 p.m.

2018 Season wrap up
If you were unable to attend our end-of-the-season reception and presentation, but want to know how the season ended up, view the Natural Resource Specialist's presentation. Also, if you were a 2018 volunteer and are curious about the specific site you monitored, we can provide you with a site summary. Contact 720-733-2294 or email us for more information.

2019 Season Information
The 2019 season will start soon and we will need volunteers to monitor all our our sites. If you are interested in learning more about the Colorado Bluebird Project or volunteering to be a nest-box monitor in 2019, please fill out a CO Bluebird Project Volunteer Interest Form to get on our email notification list.

To apply to participate and volunteer in the Bluebird Program,
complete the Individual Volunteer Application and Volunteer Waiver Form, and submit both forms to the POST Partners Volunteer Program Coordinator by EMAIL.

Feel free to download our Colorado Bluebird Project Volunteer Training Manual as a reference for either your backyard monitoring or as one of our nest-box monitoring volunteers. We encourage those installing nest boxes in their own yards to follow these guidelines.

Locations of bluebird nest boxes in Castle Rock
Bluebird boxes are located throughout Castle Rock on various public parks, trails, open space and school properties. View a map of all the locations
